An Act amending the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.789, No.285), known as The Insurance Department Act of 1921, in insurance producers, further providing for powers and duties of department.
This bill gives the Pennsylvania Insurance Department commissioner sole authority to approve or contract for insurance producer pre-examination courses. It exempts these approved courses from requirements under the Private Licensed Schools Act, which currently regulates other educational institutions. The change directly affects insurance producers and educational providers by centralizing oversight of exam preparation materials under the state insurance department. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage.
